No more junk calls from unethical lead generation companies

Just think how agents from unknown numbers dial up suddenly and starts offering you with services that you do not need. The calls are just out of the blue and it do make people keep wondering as to how this agents are getting hold of their numbers. Don't you think so?

No doubt, what this article will tell you will make your jaw drop as this is simply breaching of your trust and that too playing fool with the information that you do not like to share with everyone.

Many lead generation companies are in the charge to generate quality customer surveys and that too they are from most genuine authorities but to make more money this agencies are using unethical practices like selling of survey leads to product companies.

These processes of leaking out information to companies in guise of surveys are known as "˜sugging'. Phruit Limited is one such industry leaders that have adapted this unethical means to trap their customers.

They have used underhand ploys to get your details and passed them onto businesses starting from mobile phones to will writing. Phruit is also blamed for passing on the details of those customers also who have registered themselves on Telephone Preference Services (TPS) to opt out of marketing calls.

It has used a sneaky trick to play fool over you and that is just carried on without your concern and hidden from your views.

With a single consumer complaint and more than hundred web complaints following it helped DMA to suspend Phruit form its membership for a period of one year. You know that becoming a member of DMA is a clear indicator of a company operating to maintain their standards, standing for professionalism and trustworthiness. Phruit has broken their Code of Practice and so DMA cannot forgive it as all the allegations where proved against them.

However, director of Phruit, Phil Lightfoot denies all the acquisition and said that they had no obligation from DMA. Three codes under which DMA has cancelled its membership are:a. 21.18 and 21.20 on TPS compliance and data cleansingb. 3.11 under which Phruit has a responsibility for compliance by suppliersc. 3.18 on "sugging" or carrying out sales and marketing under the disguise of research

DMA says that Code of Practice is the cornerstone for their effort to build and maintain political, commercial and consumer faith in conducting direct marketing. Therefore any company that fails to operate within their standards brings both DMA and their industry under disrepute. So phruit was suspended to safeguard their repute.

If you have received marketing calls from Phruit and their partner companies then do feel like complaining about them at this following address:

On the other hand, you can directly mail at the director's desk. If Phruit does not respond to such complain and fails to take action within 10 days, then you can move ahead and lodge complaints at the TPS or DMA associations.
